The Far Side of Prominence

I said I'd move on, only that was something close to a pipe dream. I said I'd be okay, only that was a lie living day and night by my side. Yeah, I wanted to spend my time reeling back in nostalgia because that's where I'd find comfort most. If the hands of time could be turned back by mine, maybe I might've been better prepared for the day my world got plunged into darkness. It all started with a fantasy costing my care for Skyler who never wanted me from the start. Although no solid purpose ever tagged me along, I soon felt like I was in the middle of something bigger. Something drooling at my peril. Frankly, when the extraterrestrial purge surprised New Coralton with a black storm tearing it apart, it wasn't long before my family found its name on a bounty list. Where 'X' marks the spot was my very skull. Driven far by vengeance, an unhinged psychopath sacrificed, so to speak, just so he'd nail my coffin himself. Had the deities not abandoned humanity, we could've overcome the adversities. And if we stood a second chance, we could've fought a millenial stellar warfare. "This story was never about you Johnny... until now." Those words, I could'nt agree more. Long scarred by my mother's taunting history, what made me dream again was what drove me insane, cost a friend and turned my whole world upside-down. ~A story of self discovery taken beyond the stars. What could go right..?~
